Crocknapeast is reached via a longish walk of about 13km return, mostly along windfarm tracks, and can be combined with a visit to Mulnanaff and Balbane Hill (unlisted) if you wish. There is parking for a couple of cars at a forestry entrance at A (G70138 81131). Cross over gate and walk up as far as a T-junction then turn right. Continue along gently rising gravel track to B (G68298 82971), turn right and walk as far as the second last windmill at C (G68962 83076). At this point you are at 440m elevation. Leave track turning north onto open hillside, dropping down to a col about 10m below. continue across the open hillside - mostly grass, boggy/mossy areas, with a few pools - for about 800m and a climb of about 60m to reach the summit, which is marked by a large cairn.
